Barrie

Location: N 44° 23.339 W 079° 41.276 In downtown Barrie, on the south side of Dunlop Street, at Memorial Square, which is actually oval.

This memorial was unveiled in 1922, to honour the men from Barrie, Vespra and Innisfil, who fell in the Great War. It consists of a statue made from local Barrie granite, on top of a shaft which bears the names and inscriptions.Two other columns were added later to include the names of those who gave their lives in World War 2, Korea and Afghanistan.

About Me

My goal as I travel throughout the Province of Ontario, is to photograph and document all the war memorials dedicated to the brave souls who gave their lives for their country. Lest We Forget.
I am also a modern day explorer, traveling the world in search of history, hidden treasures, abandoned buildings, monuments and interesting stories that can only be found off the beaten path. I prefer to travel by motorcycle, as there is no better way to experience the world.
